If you try the No-Pest Strips, you will likely have a dead snake in the morning, or one going into convulsions because of neurologic impairment. Not good.

The Provent-A-Mite, when used CORRECTLY as per the instructions on the canister, will safely get rid of any and all mites and their eggs. I really, REALLY would like to stress the word SAFELY.

I am not going to condone the use of these No-Pest Strips, and I hope you will do the same. Your animals will thank you for it.

How was I not clear in my explanation of using Provent-A-Mite? You take everything out of the enclosure, put down newspaper, and plastic hides, fog the enclosure, wait a good solid hour or two, and then replace the snake. Do not replace any of the decorations, and replace the normal waterbowl with an easily cleaned, smaller waterbowl. What I was saying about the canister lasting a long time is that it is a good sized canister, and since you should only have to fog the enclosure 1-2 times, your money is well-spent as you still have quite a large amount of PAM left in the canister.

I realize that you just want to get rid of the mites, but going about it cheaply(and dangerously, I must admit) is not going to solve your problem. Your snakes could have neurologic damage or even die from the use of the No-Pest Strips. Why take the risk?

Just my $2.50...
